EVENING BULLETIN. Tnesdny, November 33. 1860. the hew circuit judgeship. . , In tlie appointment of the additional Judge for the United States District Court for the Cir cuit of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, there is ■a naturally strong feeling that the” selection .should be made from the bar or bench of Phil iadelphia. In all distribution of Government 'Appointments or patronage, it is fair and rea sonable that regard should he had to a bal ance of honors between the'States concerned; 'and there is such a balance due, just now, to This great State, the keystone and the hottest battle-ground of the Republican party, is entitled to a full representation in all departments of the Government. Under the administration of President Grant, Penn sylvania was honored with the Navy portfolio and the Russian mission, and the ap pointments were. accepted and appreciated as becoming compliments to the important and honorable position of the State toward tiic Administration and the Republican party. But Mr. Borie resigned, and the Navy portfolio went to New Jersey, where it was most judi ciously bestowed upon the present' excellent and popular Secretary. Republican Pennsyl vania is thus left without a representative in the Cabinet, and this is an additional reason - why she should have the filling of one of the new seats on the Supreme Bench. But there is a better- and more permanent reason why Philadelphia should have this new judgeship, and that is because we have pre tusely the light man to fill this important post. Without wishing to make any invidious dis tinction in a profession which has so many ■ shining lights in Philadelphia, it is safe to say ' that President Grant can -confer this appoints went nowhere where the judicial ermine will' fall more gracefully or appropriately than upon tife shoulders of the lion. J/. Russell Thayer, Judge of the District Court of this State. Judge Thayer seems to be specially gifted, both by nature, legal -attainment, and judicial experience, for this position, llis reputation is wide-spread as an able lawyer, a cool, dispas sionate and dignified judge, an accomplished ' and refined gentleman, a man of sterling worth' and integrity, in the prime of manly vigor, and - every way fitted to adorn whatever position as a minister of the law he may be appointed to fill. We know of no member of the legal pro fession in Pennsylvania,jwhose selection for the post now to be filled would meet with more general approbation than Judge Thayer. liis popularity lias been won by no dubious or un worthy means. It is the fruit of a life adorned with the solid qualities ef virtue, personal ami political integrity and high professional ability. We do not pretend that Judge Thayer stands alone at the bar or bench of Philadelphia, in the enjoyment of these distinguishing qualities: but he certainly possesses them in such well balanced proportions that in casting about for .the most suitable appointment to the new Judgeship we have no hesitation in expressing the belief that President Grant cannot select any gentleman for the Circuit of the District ®f Pennsylvania and New Jersey who will be more cordially welcomed this city and State than the Hon. Martin Russell Thayer. SHEAIRICAJL ABSURDITIES. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that tlie realistic tendency of the theatre at the present day has not effected, reformation of many-of those ancient customs in the mechanical and ■other business of the stage which had their origin far back in tlie early theatrical period when, the stage carpenter,, was not an artist, when the costumer was not expected to enter tain a decent regard l'orthe proprieties, when scene painter )vas a mere smearer of lin seed oil and vermilion, and when chemistry, .electricity and steam had not been thought of by managers. But while we have lime-lights .and railroad trains, actual horses ' and perfect copies of well-known localities, while the gory bandit .has lied before the modern boot* black, and the raven-tressed I’rincess has been .frightened ifito retirement by the' unpoetic peanut woman, stage managers still cling to certain of tlie traditional absurdities, and refuse to take tlie filial step towards real •istic perfection. In all our theatres the promoter still represents thunder by sliakiug a f L piece .of sheet-iron, the noise Oi which resein -1 hies thunder finite as nearly as tlie twang of a . jewsliarp resembles the music of a brass band. Despising the aid of electrical batteries, iliglit ' jiing is .always burlesqued with a few Hashes of gunpowder at the side scenes. When the manager wants .rain lie never fails to rattle a ; | Jot of dried peas in a cylinder, just as .the ...4,-- fdroeks very likely did twenty lj . • Ibis in .the presetted the-fact that water is p'i plenty and tlie water tax small. The soughing L , «f.tbe wind continues to resemble the lamenting r ■■: • <)f .a distemt baby in pain; and when suow- is - i wanted,'the familiar bits of white paper de ’ S aeend upon the stage and .cover the floor in x I lines wihicb are painful in their regularity. « ‘K 'Phere is no reason why these elemental mat- * tern shduld not be improved to a nearer resein- U i p'pu blance to nature. A little ingenuity, and ' - frffling subsequent axpeuse, will do tlie busi “"'‘‘k jiess satisfactorily. That circular white spot \ in the flat, with a candle behind it, never did . .-riPp look Hke the moon, and the most careful art eould not extract from it a beam of sufficient IK. ; strength to produce a shimmer on tlie rippling a waters of the lake—rippling waters which, we tj \ fiay sav. are merely suggested by slit canvas 1 * with a, row of gas-burners behind it. The j" ef’tho stage, also is an absurdity. Why dwnld a wandering spectre always be draped in 4 *J»c crape ? Why rnay it not sometimes wear J. E. GOULD, No. 923 Ohcetnnt Btreet. T HE PAII.Y. EVENING BULLEtIS-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1869. the popular white garments of thograVe, and walk over the stage without a stride ? The grand army, too, heeds a good deal of improve ment. The warriors of all times and oil . nations have not invariably gone to battle with tin-headed spears; nor have we any evidence that Ccesar's cohorts, and the Khan’s Tartars, and Richard’s Britons, and Macbeth’s Scotch-, -men,' and the Grand Duke’s all pranced into strife with irregular steps, clad In precisely the same rod sacks arid spangled leggings, with jelly-mould helmets npon their heads. But whether the soldiers of the stage represent either the one period and country or the other, they always, dress and arm and drill • alike, until the aesthetic spectator feels sufficiently in dignant to fight the whole brigade. It seems to us that there is room for im provement, also, in the plan that is adopted for signifying the arrival of vehicles. The custom, for years, has been to crack a whip three or four times, when the well-known fact is that drivers invariably stop cracking their whips precisely when they halt their fiery steeds. In the matter of stage money also, we might have more realism: and when the father dispenses his savings in that reckless manner peculiar to the stage, some attention might be paid to locality. If specie payments are sommon, or if the scene of the play is laid in Europe, the greenbacks, of invariable use are not properly consistent. In rea life men who engage in single com bat with broad-swords hardly ever regulate their blows by the strict stage rule of ‘•two up and one down,” especially if they have an insatiable thirst for blood ; nor have we observed that topers off the stage drink fifteen or twenty heavy draughts from one small glass without having it replenished. Boats which float upon the bosom 9f genuine water never proceed by hitches and jerks, as they invariably do upon the boards; and the common experience of manhood is, that the hounding billows of the raging ocean never raise a cloud of dust with which spectators are suffocated, after the fashion of the rolling waves of green cambric in the theatres. These are a-few of the things in which im provement is demanded by the truly realistic spirit of the times. Managers are quick enough to provide any mechanical effects, no matter how intricate and expensive they may be, which are required by the situations of a new and popular play. Why may they not ex ercise the same care in improving the old fashioned absurdities with which the stage has been disgraced for centuries ? A dramatic per formance is intended tp be a representation of real life, and anything which tends to make the illusion more complete is worthy oi adoption. It is quite as desirable that nature should be imitated by the mechanical contrivances as by the actors. VANDERBILT AND PEABODY. The people of New York, in awarding honors to prominent men, show a strong preference for the living rich, who have done nothing for mankind, over the dead, whose lives and fortunes were devoted to works of philanthropy. An- effort to raise fluids for a monument to the late George Peabody has failed thus far. But a few days ago, a pompous bronze monument (said to have cost a million of dollars), to the living Cornelius Vanderbilt was dedicated with grand ceremonies. Mr. Vanderbilt, so far as the public knows, lias 'done no single great act of benevolence, and has given no money to educational works. He has simply grown rich by shrewd speculations, in which thousands of honest men and women have been defrauded. But New York has always honored smart gamblers. It sends Morrissey and Wood to Congress and puts up a gorgeous monument to Vanderbilt. It has leaked out, however, that tlie crowd that, assisted at the dedication on Hudson Square, last week, had a very striking proof of the meanness of the man whom they were honoring. A grand banquet, with unlimited champagne, was expected. But nothing was furnished but some cheap cake and lemonade, which disgusted tlie assembled convufes. The Kew York Evening Post says that tlfi: omis sion must have been from forgetfulness. On •Saturday last Mr. Vanderbilt was in Court, and to the amazement and disgust of Mr. Dudley Field, who was cross-examining him, it be came evident that he had no memory what ever. He did not remember having received a check for a million dollars; lie did not recog nize his own signature ; he did not know the price of a stock at a time when he owned fifty thousand shares of it; he did not know liow a check was certified; he could not remember 1 when, where or how many times he had seen Mr. Could on a certain matter. A man so im becile must be excused for forgetting to spend a few hundred dollars for Champagne for his friends. But what a pitiable spectacle it is to see such a man honored with a stupendous bronze monument, while a few hundred dol hirs is all that can be subscribed in the same community for a monument to George Pea body. T'lie ingenious robbery of the Boylston Na tional Bank,, -in Boston, of valuables placed there for safe-keephig, should teach all persons the folly of making such deposits. A bank receiving bonds, jewels,, plate and other valuables for safe-keeping, is-not responsible for them. This robbery, like others that have taken place in this city and New York, protfes that ordinary bank vaults and safes are hot proof against thieves. The only really safe places for such articles are-the vaults.of the Safe Deposit Companies that have been es tablished here and elsewhere. These com panie's liate large capital, and have vaults and safes that are not only secure, but are con stantly guarded by faithful watchmen. More over they are responsible for everything they " receive." This beiiigTlie" "case", it is sliiprisihg that any one haying valuables to preserve should not put them in the care of the Bafe Deposit Companies. The English people have shown a very mean and petty spirit concerning the Suez Canal, which must be owing to the fact that it has been a French enterprise, and that other coun tries of Europe are likely to derive more bene fit from it than England. 1 At the grand open ing ceremonies, no British prince or other dig nitary was present, while France sent her Em press, Austria her Emperor, Italy her king’s second son, Prussia her Crown Prince, aiid Holland her Crown Prince and Princess. Now that the work is finished, the London papers are trying to disparage it, and tiie Associated Press is employed to circulate the opinions of the Times and others against it. * All tills is unworthy of a great nation, and we hope it will be effectually rebuked'by the'complete, access of the great undertaking. A correspondent i’ro'm Little Rock, whose letter wo print In another part of this paper, is very severe npon the “Southern Radicals” in that State. He may be correct iff his opinions conccrning sonie of them; bnt the first two thirds of his letter show that under this same Radical rule, Arkansas is advancing in enlight enmeiit and prosperity in a wffji.siie never has before. In fact, the early part of the letter is a complete refutation ofthe charges or insinu ations Of the latter part; and even if some of these charges are correct; the'people, as they grow in wealth and intelligence, can correct all the faults that may have been committed by bad politicians.

[Special by the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph.'}. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 23.—A shocking butchefy occurred on, the Clarksville pike, about twelve miles from this city, yesterday morning. A man named Joe Barton, who rente a small farm, deliberately cut the throats ..'hr bis wife and three children, killing them ■instantly. The murderer has been addicted to drinking, and the impression is that lie was in a drunken lit when he committed the terrible tragedy. He made his escapo, and at last accounts had not been arrested. • Andrew Johnson, who has been at homo in Greenville for about a week, is expected here to-morrow or tlie day after. Tho bill authorizing tlie construction of the Cincinnati Southern iiailroad through! the Htate of Tennessee was called npin the House to-day by Mr. James, on its second reading. Mr. Fleming, of Knoxville, thought a bill granting such extraordinary franchises and privileges should receive mature deliberation before its passage, especially since a dollar of stock in the proposed road could not bo owned in Tennessee. He hoped it would be re ferred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. James, of Hamilton, advocated the immediate passage of the bill, and contended that no honest op position could be urged against such a bill, since the construction of tlie road would be of such vast boncllt to the people of the Htate. He said that on its third reading an amend ment would be proposed to prevent discrimi nation against Tennessee freights and passen gers. The hill then passed the second reading without a dissenting vote. Negroes Attacked by Begnlaton. | Special by the Pacific and Allantic. Telegraph Com pany.) Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 22.—A band of nine to twelvo men, masked and clothed in gro tesque garbs, made an attack on Saturday night upon a congregation of negroes, as sembled for the .purpose of hearing preaching, upon the farm of Harve'y Scott, some ti or 10 miles from this city. Another report gives the number of men as mueb larger. They called themselves regulators, and declared that they intended to put. a slop to any meeting or assemblage of negroes. In tlie onslaught one negro was shot and slightly wounded in the back of the neck, and a number of others were shockingly beaten. None of the assailant*, were injured. No.other reason was given by the regulators for thoir conduct than that they intended to squelch all negro meet ings. It is said that a portion of them were recognized by tlie negroes, and one white per son who saw them averred for a time that ho knew a portion ot the party, but subsequently stated that he did not know them, and that lie was drunk when he said he- did. No arrests have been made, and it is presumed that the usual acquiescence of the civil authorities in the situation will occur. Collision of Ballroad Trains in Ken incky.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch, in an article on the reunion ol the Presbyterian churches, says that the real crisis is v»;t to come: > The next spring General Assembly will be the real crisis of Presoytcrianism. A Mode rator will have to bo chosen. Will a New School or an Old School man he elected 7 That question itself will require delicate handling. The Synods and Presbyteries will have to be reorganized, in some place.-, where two struggling churches’ now stand in rivalry a junction will have to take place, and one minister and one set of church oilicers be dispossessed. The missionary boards and societies of the two Churches will have to be consolidated; the theological schools likewise. The, bequests to tlie respective Churches, amounting to several million dollars, wilt pre sent legal difficulties. In fact every detail of this grand consolidation of two such power ful ecclesiastical organizations will. present an occasion for heart-burnings and jealousies, just as the consolidation of the regiments of an army has been found to do. And there will not be wanting men to tan these sparks of enmity into a groat flame. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Although the treaty negotiated with tlie Colombian government, by the Hon.

THE BOSTON BANK ROBBERY. Additional Particulars. From the Boston Transcript, of last night, we clip the following additional particulars of the robbery of the Boylstou Bank: Last evening the Bovlston Baulc in this city was the scene of another hold and successful robbery, by which a large amount of bonds xvere taken from tlie vault of the bank, esti mated at over £500.000. As near as can at present be ascertained the particulars of this daring robbery are as fol lows: The 20th of October last, a man giving the name of William A. Juilson, hired a room in the building, No. 425} Washington street, os tensibly for the purpose of putting up bitters. This room adjoins that'portion of the bank building in wliicli the vault of the institution is situated. • It. is evident from an inspection of these premises, that , this individual, and perhaps confederates, havtj been at work leisurely hcTe, ever since tho apartment was taken, cut ting through the walls. A bookcase was liuDg np over the place where the work was going on, aud to make detection still more improba ble, a swinging: piece of wall had been made to elose up the hole which they were making. Two brick walls of eighteen inches each were required to be pierced; and this part of the work was 'evidently accomplished some time last week. The long time intervening between the closing of the bank on Saturday safterno'on and- the opening on Monday morn ing gave them an opportunity to leisurely cut through the half-inch plate iron linipg of the safe, which was accomplished by boring holes in a circle,makitig an opening sufficient to ad mit a small sized person.-The-valuables of the hank were in an inner steel-plate safe, which" an attempt was-made to force. The small trunks containing deposits which were placed in this vault for safe keeping at - the risk of the depositors were all taken. The amount taken cannot be definitely estimated, but there is not much probability that it will fall short of $500,000. The vault is a small one, about eight feet hy five, and the trunks ’ were ranged upon shelves in the easterly and westerly, sides. *> The room which Judson had taken was found in’a state of some confusion this morn ing. A valise with most of the burglars’ tools was found there, 1 It" was also ascertained that that individual had placed the bricks as they were removed from tlie wall into empty patent medicine boxes, of Which he had a number in ' the room. A description of the person who hired this apartment has been given to tho Chief of Po lice, and already the investigation of the affair has commenced. 3:15 jO’Olooht.
